A childcare worker who allegedly assaulted a toddler seven times at a daycare in Sydney’s northwest has been admitted to a mental health facility.
Paige Gibson, 26, from The Ponds, was arrested and charged with the alleged assault of a toddler at a Castle Hill daycare centre earlier this month.
Police allege Gibson assaulted the child on multiple occasions at the daycare.
Gibson was charged with seven counts of common assault and one charge of assault causing actual bodily harm.
She is alleged to have assaulted the same boy four times on March 11 and three times on March 17 this year, according to court attendance notices.
Gibson was due to face Parramatta Local Court for the first time on Tuesday but her lawyer told the court she could not attend because she has been admitted to a mental health facility.
The court heard she was an inpatient and would not be released until June 4.
Her lawyer asked for the matter to be adjourned until mid-June so she could get legal advice after her release.
The matter was adjourned to June 16.
Gibson, who is on bail, will be excused if she is legally represented.
